		<title>How long does a virus survive outside the body&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know how when you get statistics from STI resources that give a time frame a virus can live outside the body, how do they determine the upper end? The maximum amount of time? How does the laboratory study compare to real life?

		<title>Burdens</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I grew up knowing from early childhood on, some people, children and adults, that had the ability to be exceptionally cruel.

		<description><![CDATA[Bijou died in the night, Wolfe was with her when she passed. We did our very best for her. We knew even with the puppy formula, antibiotics, treating the colic, with what the vet had said, it was a big gamble trying to keep her alive.

		<title>Bijou</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is struggling. She now looks terribly bloated and is crying constantly, we think she has colic and Wolfe has driven off to the drugstore to buy some simethicone to try to settle her poor tummy. The feeding with the puppylac formula and/or the antibiotics is not agreeing with her. Either that or it&#8217;s a symptom [...]]]></description>

This definitely explains one facet of what it&#8217;s like to have fibro. I&#8217;ve talked a lot about pain, and weakness, but not a lot about how it effects how I move through the world.
